Was that drake thread that deep to inspire this thread? i applaud your stannery still
It's also different because the Beatles were famous and touring (simultaneously) for probably less than 5 years, before they stopped
They were performing a lot in the 50s but they werent famous til early 60s and stopped touring like... 66? 65? idk
Can you elaborate ? I don’t understand how that affects their popularity

MJ slander triggers me so much
No racism in the music industry ended a while before Michael Jackson trust me sly and the family stone was at the Woodstock festival in 1968 and they had a huge crowd, one of the first huge almost full african American bands
No, it wasn’t “ended” off of sly or acts like Jimi and Santana, though they made a significant push for it.
Bullshit
Billie Jean getting heavy rotation lead to more black artists getting airplay and their music videos funded by labels
That alone lead to the success of many entertainers and allowed them to cross over past disco, R&B & soul music
It’s facts
Also thank Bowie for speaking up

Because people think Elvis, Drake and The Beatles are bigger than MJ

Niggas really underestimating how big Elvis was lmao
You said he was bigger than MJ and the Beatles with 0 context
You have yet to show us proof
Omg thanks I’ll listen
hunky dory might be a bit rough for first time listeners, might take a bit to adjust to his voice on there but its a good entry point imo
People on this site genuinely believe Drake or the Beatles are MJ status

Op a real one
MJ was literally known everywhere. My family in the middle East have told me stories bout how they were rockin with MJ. They have absolutely no idea who the Beatles are. Anecdotal but srsly MJ was so f***ing global.

Elvis was probably really popular for his time, but he's more of an American 'Icon' Than MJ whose more of a Global Icon.
No doubt MJ is easily the most famous and iconic artist ever. Mans was on some larger than life status.

Yep
The artist that came the closest to him globally since MJ is probably 50 but even he is far away from MJ
